    The document summarizes Pakistan's ongoing energy crisis. It outlines that Pakistan has significant coal and renewable energy resources that have been underutilized due to lack of long-term planning, corruption, and poor management. The energy crisis is negatively impacting the economy through industry closures, inflation, unemployment, and poverty. Potential solutions include establishing central energy administration, increasing renewable and nuclear energy production, exploiting coal reserves, and emphasizing energy conservation.

    Energy crisis in Pakistan

    Compiled by zafar ali abro

    CSS 2014

    Introduction

    Energy is the backbone of the country, blood in the veins of national life, and factor which keeps life
    going on.

    Current condition

    Sufficiency in energy is assurance to excel any countries economy

    According to an international analysis, the oil and gas reserves will be finish in the second half of the
    current century

    Alternative energy resources are being explored

    There are 929 billion tons of coal reserves in the world

    Whose 40% is used to produce electricity

    178 billion tons coal exist in Pakistan

    Whose price is $30 trillion which goes to 187 times high than the Pakistan’s current GDP

    A glance on background

    Our past is responsible for our feature

    We did work only on short term policies

    Corruption, energy theft, line losses added fuel into fire

    We chosen wrong way produce electricity

    Renewable resources ignored

    Concerned institutions did not achieve their target

    Energy consumption and production


    Leading consumer is household 43%

    Industrial sector consuming 30%

    Agriculture 13%

    Govt. 7%

    Commercial sector 6%

    Street light 1%

    Production

    Thermal 12478 mw which is 64. 12 percent

    Hydel 6480 which is 33.30%

    Both contributing 97.42%

    Nuclear 462, 2. 37

    Renewable resources 0.42%

    Causes of energy crisis

    Mal administration

    Lack of effective and efficient polices

    Pakistan has to need of project oriented rather than goal oriented polices

    long term and sustainable polices are unfamiliar in our all history of Pakistan

    attitude of delaying new project as long as possible has been common practice

    no proper use of renewable resources

    wind energy, 1046km coastline of sindh , power potential of 50,000 mw


    solar energy

    tidal energy

    immense quantity and tiny exploitation of coal

    Pakistan’s coal is equivalent to Saudi Arab and Iran’s oil reserves which is 400million barrels of oil

    It has the capacity of electric generation for 30 years

    At maximum cost of .4 per unit

    Mr. Mumbark mand on coal reserves

    aging of equipment

    they are not able to generate expected electricity

    wastage of energy

    energy conservation policy is limited to news papers, advertisings, and in seminars

    a new culture is needed for energy conservation

    both elite and lower class are responsible for that

    high cost of fuel

    cost of crude oil increased from$4o to $140 in short span of time

    Pakistan is producing much electricity with thermal

    poor distribution system

    long liens

    use of cheaper wires

    energy theft

    its common practice

    both in rural an urban

    employees corruption
    no check and balance

    rapid growth in population

    high demand of energy

    low production

    unnecessary domestic consumption

    inadequate political vision

    delay in projects

    corruption

    lack of public cooperation

    Effect of energy crisis

    closure of industries

    · around 25% textile units have been closed

    trade deficit

    the export target did not achieved

    flow of capital

    investors are moving towards alternative countries

    low industrial growth

    production based industry

    inflation

    due to high cost of production

    poverty
    declined purchasing power

    unemployment

    termination of employees

    Possible solution

    Sole energy administration for regulation of energy sector should be formed

    Energy conservation

    Production of energy with renewable resources

    · Wind

    · Solar

    4- Nuclear power plants

    5- Construction of dams

    Basha dam

    And other dames

    6-Exploitation of coal reserves

    7- IPI gas pipeline

    8- Electricity import from Iran

    9-Conservation of energy
